What the college says

WHY CHOOSE ENGLISH LANGUAGE? Do you want to learn how a child, within just a few years, progresses from being unable to speak or understand to acquiring the ability to communicate and comprehend? Are you interested in discovering the real differences in the speech styles of men and women and how language can be used to influence or even control peoples? views and mindsets? Do you enjoy creative writing, experimenting with different genres, editing and redrafting to a publishable standard? English Language has gained a reputation for being a subject highly regarded by higher education providers and employers alike and could be the A Level you are looking for.
